Detail (when transferring a single line) section

Field Description
Transaction Type This field displays the code representing the type of transaction, for example JE for journal entry.
Date This field displays the transaction date.
Reference No. This field displays the reference number assigned to the transaction in the Reference field during transaction entry, or during an expense billing insert.
Account Select the expense account where the transaction amount specified in the Amount field will be transferred or reclassified.
Amount This field displays the cost amount to be reclassified or transferred to the account specified in the Account field.

The following applies if the expense item is a reimbursable or consultant expense that was generated from a voucher that you created using the Create Voucher from PO application and you selected the Show Purchase Order Line Item Detail check box in the Expense Terms or Consultant Terms sections on the Expenses/Units tab in Billing Terms for the project:

  • The Amount field displays the cost amount that is calculated from the entries in the Quantity and Unit Price fields on this dialog box.
  • To transfer an amount only, you must first delete the number that is entered in the Quantity field. Then enter the amount to transfer in the Amount field.

    Example:

    Project A has an amount and unit price of $4,000 with a quantity of 1. You want to transfer $2,500 from Project A to Project B, but you want Project A's quantity to remain at 1.

    On the Billing Expense Transfer dialog box, you:

    1. Enter Project B in the Project field.
    2. Delete 1.00 in the Quantity field, leaving the field blank.
    3. In the Amount field that is now editable, enter $2,500.
    4. Click OK.

      When you click OK:

      • The adjustment to Project A is -$2,500. The expense still has a quantity of 1 and the unit price after the adjustment is $1,500.
      • Project B now has an expense with an amount of $2,500, its quantity is 0, and its unit price is $0.
Quantity This field displays if both of the following are true:
  • The expense item is a reimbursable or consultant expense that was generated from a voucher that you created using the Create Voucher from PO application.
  • You selected the Show Purchase Order Line Item Detail check box in the Expense Terms and Consultant Terms sections on the Expenses/Units tab in Billing Terms for the project.

The quantity in this field prefills from the purchase order. You can change the quantity for billing purposes, which will not impact the voucher or purchase order. DPS recalculates the amount in the Amount field based on the entries in the Quantity and Unit Price fields.

If you delete the number in the Quantity field, leaving it blank, the Amount field becomes editable. This allows you to transfer an amount only, while leaving the quantity unchanged. After you click OK, the original quantity redisplays in the Quantity field.

Unit Price This field displays if both of the following are true:
  • The expense item is a reimbursable or consultant expense that was generated from a voucher that you created using the Create Voucher from PO application.
  • You selected the Show Purchase Order Line Item Detail check box in the Expense Terms and Consultant Terms sections on the Expenses/Units tab in Billing Terms for the project.

This field displays the unit price for the expense item from the purchase order, which you cannot change. If you transfer an expense amount without transferring any units, the unit price is recalculated.

Diary This field displays only if you have set up a diary for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions.

Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in a vendor payment run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.

The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type.

The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering Options section in Transactions Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them.

If you have multiple companies in DPS, the Diary field drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.

You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.
